    numpad - key is programmed to be windows key


    a few months ago i changed my numpad - key to the windows key because my new keyboard doenst have a windows key and i never used the - key. until now.i can't remember how i changed it. i'm guessing sharpkey since it's on my pc, but its not changing the key back. i've tried several things. changing language settings. reinstalling drivers, unplugging keyboard and plugging it back in. but so far nothings worked. well, it kind of works now. the - key works like it should and types a -, but it also opens windows menu at the same time. is there anyway to reset this?

    :)

    numpad - key is programmed to be windows key

    down arrow key stopped working

    My razor lycosa down arrow key decided to not respond at some point today. The other ones work and so does the numpad arrow if i turn off the numlock. Sounds like its just broken and im screwed, but any suggestions?
